Whirlpool AFB Economy Freezer low cost but poorly featured

Advantages: Low cost
Disadvantages: design errors, no temperature guage, no internal light, door jamming, no defrost function

...I purchased this freezer around three months ago from Currys during the sale attracted by the low cost of £159 however whilst the delivery and service from Currys was excellent the product has some small issues to be considered. Note Currys have a very transparent pick up of your old freezer that works very well. Firstly there is no automatic defrost with this model and a regular defrost routine is advised as after a while the drawers will start to jam. We actually found that the freezer shelf elements are not securely fixed into the recesses in the freezer walls (they slide in and are restrained by the rear pipe structure) and as a result slightly shift during use and cause drawer jams. The freeing of the drawers means removing all the drawers then reinstalling carefully - then its OK for a while. It is possible that they have shifted...

Review of Whirlpool AFB 601

Whirlpool American fridge freezer

Advantages: Big, holds lots, filtered water, ice dispenser.
Disadvantages: Needs filters yearly, needs water connected to it, need insurance.

...filter I change about once a year and costs £28 delivered but I had to hunt for this price as whirlpool charge about £40. Problems. I took out insurance with this when I bought it for 5 years for about £150( actually got this free when did a bit or bargaining in the shop). Best thing I did as I have had the engineer out 3 times over 3 years and lost all the food in the fridge freezer in one instance. The callouts were free with the insurance and they altered the circulation in the frisge and changed the control panel. The insurance paid for all the food. Reccommended if you buy these big american freezers take out insurance. Only other problem is the size. Delivery got it through my front door but could not get it through the kitchen door as a worktop in the way. Had to pay someone £50 to take the doors off to get it in the right place...

Whirlpool Fridge Freezer

Advantages: Large, frost free, efficient
Disadvantages: expensive, bulky

...This is the fridge freezer that my parents bought about 7 months ago. They bought it for £1220 from Currys, quite expensive! The machine is very large and bulky and a large kitchen is needed for it not to look silly. Its dimensions are 80 * 90 * 190cm. The right hand door (looking at it) opens the fridge and the left the freezer. Both sections have vast amounts of space - fridge 420L, freezer 220L. The freezer is frost free which is brilliant, such a nice feature! the machine looks great, we have a white one with glass shelves inside - v.nice! There are shelves and drawers on both sides so lots of places for various food types. The fridge door has lots of shelves from top to bottom and can be used to store jars/sauces/wine etc... This saves space in the main fridge. The freezer door contains the ice (cubes or crushed...

The new dimension to fridge freezers! The Whirlpool 20 TB L4

Advantages: Large storage space
Disadvantages: price

...Whirlpool 20 TB L4 Purchased and been in the family home for just over a year now, It is the best kitchen appliance that we have ever purchased. It has so many features that are a brilliant everyday use. This item includes: Ice dispenser (choice of crushed or cubed) Cold water dispenser Large storage space self regulates temperature - prevents freezing Eco efficient Light on inside and outside It is the biggest fridge freezer we have ever had, with the freezer being around about the same size of the fridge.

Life In The Freezer - David Attenborough

Advantages: So interesting, fun to watch, educational
Disadvantages: I want more episodes!!

...I really love 'The Life Collection' from David Attenborough. The complete series of 'Life in the Freezer' was the third dvd of the collection that I bought. The series itself has six episodes which are all on one disc. They were originally transmitted in 1993. The six episodes are: Episode 1: The Bountiful Sea - All about the Southern Antarctic Ocean and the species in it Episode 2: The Ice Retreats - About when Spring comes and the wildlife coming back to land to breed. Episode 3: The Race To Breed - How seals and penguins have to breed quickly before winter comes round again. Episode 4: The Door Closes - The disappearance of food as winter returns and how the wildlife have to migrate before this happens. Episode 5: The Big Freeze - How some animals stay and live in the extreme conditions and how life continues, against all...

Review of Life In The Freezer (DVD)

whirlpool washer

Advantages: washes great low noise
Disadvantages: none

...Well Christmas Eve saw us left without a washing machine as ours decided that it wanted to pack up. This was a pain, as we wanted to get our last bit of washing done and out the way for the next day. Well we had to wait to get Christmas day out of the way and decided to wait till the sales got in full swing. Anyway it is now New Years Eve and there were plenty of places for us to look at now. Firstly we looked online to see what machines were on offer in the various stores, we looked at the usual, Dixons, Argos, Curry?s and Comet etc. Then we saw an ad on tv and went to the Miller Bros website to look the offer over. Our previous washing machine was also a Whirlpool and it lasted for about six years so we got a fair bit of use out of it. Rather than get it fixed and incur labour charges that can make up most of the bills we saw...

Review of Whirlpool AWM1200

Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme

Advantages: Excellent Heat Dispersal, Very Quiet, Ability to attach northbridge heatsink for better cooling
Disadvantages: Very Big, Awkward to Fit

...In my Custom built PC i use a AMD 6400+ with Windows Vista ultimate X64, I tend to run Video Convertions on my computer for home videos but noticed with the stock cooler that my processor was hitting 77 Degrees C and Idling at 48 C. So i began looking for a better Heatsink and fan that was both quiet and efficient. After sifting through lots of different Coolers i came across the Arctic Freezer Xtreme, which the details of the Product on air-flow etc showed it would be very good at the job at hand. the details are... ? Cooling performance ? 160 Watts ? Unique twin tower 102-fin heat sink design ? Effective heat dissipation via 4 double-sided heatpipes ? 1 ultra quiet 120mm PWM fan ? Patented fan holder eliminates the buzzing sounds ? Voltage regulators and north bridge cooling ? Pre-applied MX-2 When i fitted...

Whirlpool Gas Range

Advantages: Push button...compared to dials
Disadvantages: Whirlpool maintenance men could take a while to fix it

...I actually recieved my Whirlpool Gas Range as an early Christmas gift last year. My soon to be father in law and I had went and looked at Gas Ranges the previous day (Keeping in mind...I didn't know he was going to buy one for me...and of coarse I pointed out almost the most expensive one they had!). Well he must not have minded because I woke up the next morning and the guys were taking it out of their truck and into my home! I have wanted a brand new Whirpool with the push buttons (instead of the old dials) for about two years now! I finally have one. Let me start off with some of the features which all Whirlpool Gas Range's have. 1)Oven vents - This is where the hot air and moisture escape from while you are using the oven. 2)Surface burners - These are what you put your pans on to cook the food (flat pans are recommended...

Whirlpool Parts Issue

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Aweful customer service if you have a problem

...I am writing this complaint as a last resort after many hours and money spent trying to resolve this situation. We installed Whirlpool appliance model # RBD275PDS14 (double wall oven) with serial number XR4311868 3 years ago. The following is a chronological list by date of what had transpired regarding our earnest attempts to have our oven repaired. Saturday June 2, 2007: Upper oven was in use at a temperature of 250 degrees. The upper oven outer glass shattered. Friday, June 9, 2007: Called Whirlpool Customer Service @ 1-800-253-1301, and was told that I needed replacement part # 9759072. Part was ordered with order number 1-285635706 at a cost of $105.82. Wednesday, June 13, 2007: Received the replacement part #9759072 and my husband tried to install new front glass...

Review of Whirlpool - Customer Service

Whirlpool AWOD4505

Advantages: Queit, very good spin, good wash and overall excellent value!
Disadvantages: Can't really find one.

...A+ Energy efficiency, and while its only got a B rating on Spin, I do think it gives much better performance on that. Washing efficiency is given as A and I would agree with that one. Load weight is 5kg which is fairly standard for machines in this range. I had a Servis machine, and nothing but trouble from the moment we bought it. I have eventually relented and bought this Whirlpool as a direct replacement, costing £185-00 on offer from Co-op direct. I've immediately taken out the *8* year (yes, eight year) warranty for parts for just £25-00! Okay you still would have to pay for labour, but its pretty impressive to find a budget machine with such good warranty on its parts. It has done all we've asked of it so far - and is particularly quiet in operation, especially after the Servis machine I had. It has an anti-crease spin...
